39th International Theatre Festival

　　The 39th International Theatre Festival - Goldoni and the new theatre will be held in Venice from 18 to 29 July 2007, directed by Maurizio Scaparro.

　　Backed by the Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Davide Croff, Goldoni and the new theatre will provide an opportunity to explore the roots and resources of modern theatre through the works of this great Venetian playwright on the 300th anniversary of his birth. The aim is to underline a European cultural memory, but also to stimulate new and free rewritings.

　　The festival will be hosting a campus dedicated to university students from European and Mediterranean nations. The project has been planned by the Biennale di Venezia and the Università Ca' Foscari.
